Red Lights

Starring: Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, et al.

Product Description

Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena by detecting what Matheson calls "red lights," the subtle tricks behind every staged supernatural occurrence. But when the legendary blind psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro) comes out of retirement after 30 years, his once-fearless adversary Matheson warns Buckley to back off, fearing reprisal from the powerful Silver. Determined to discredit Silver, Buckley and his star student (Elizabeth Olsen) use every tool at their disposal to uncover the truth behind the charismatic, spoon-bending, mind reader. But Buckley is forced to reexamine his own core beliefs as his quest builds to a mind-blowing conclusion.

Customer Reviews

Nice and depressing

Lots of people claim to be paranormal. Some people believe they are. Others think they are just smarter than you. However, Prof. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and her sidekick… Oops, assistant physicist Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) is paid by the University to find out how they do it. Will they find out the shocking truth, or do they already know it? There are no surprises here. It is the standard formula to investigate the Psychic story. Seen it done many times, and this will not be the last. However, I must say that this is an excellent presentation. They chose just the right actors; that is not to say that others could not have done this, yet this was an excellent cast. I have to admit that I watched this because I knew Sigourney Weaver was in this movie. I was surprised to see Robert DeNiro doing this so well that you believed he was the character that he played. I have seen Cillian Murphy in several movies, but I was surprised to see how he helped focus the movie on the story or the message. Also, with such excellent cinematography, you felt like you were there; there was nothing second-rate or jerky, just maybe a tad dark to hold the atmosphere. To make this clear, it’s not the story but the movie production, actors, timing, and so forth that make the rating.
